It's about time I update this description! This is one of my favorite decks that I've ever built. I feel like it's got a different feel than most other decks I've come up with. This feels like my own baby.

The goal of this deck is to get a bunch of mana through cards like High Tide, Caged Sun or Gauntlet of Power. Then you use all of that mana to cast Lorthos and take ALL OF THE TURNS. There is one infinite turn loop with Kefnet the Mindful and Mystic Sanctuary with any extra turn spell that doesn't exile itself. (I don't have a Temporal Manipulation but it would definitely go into this deck if I did). But, you can usually chain a few extra turn spells together or use something like Primal Amulet   to copy them and REALLY bring in the value.

With those extra turns and mana, you use Lorthos to MURDER one player while frost tapping the other players permanents. Use Lorthos's attack trigger to get rid of any blockers and shut down your opponents for a turn cycle so that you can take them out on the next go (if they survive all of your turns the first time).

Outside of that, you are playing a typical control game. Hold up your mana for cantrips and counterspells. If things get out of hand, bounce it all and make sure everyone else starts rebuilding. The great thing about this deck is it doesn't need a lot of set up on board. You can cast a Caged Sun and then on the same turn cast Time Warp and go off from there with the double mana. So you can play VERY passively and only deal with threats that effect you directly.

I do have Narset, Parter of Veils and Windfall if you really want to go for the win but I typically avoid it.
